'A book is a dream you hold in your hand' — Neil Gaiman Happy #WorldBookDay to all dreamers 📖

I've never actually noticed this on any flights, but it seems kind of creepy.

Shopping lists as artwork? Yes, please. Wish I'd seen this earlier, I'm so intrigued by this project. (Two weeks to check it out, in London!) Turns out, it's not just Lucy Ireland Gray who collects them, there's a whole internet archive of lists. theguardian.com/artanddesign/2…

When we went down to the beach this morning we noticed it was covered in what looked like a blue film and when we looked closer, we realised it was hundreds of thousands of the tiniest by-the-wind sailors we have ever seen, many smaller than nurdles and fishing beads. #velella

Good morning from Denmark, where it’s strawberry season! Picked these fresh and they are amazing #travchat

I tried smoked puffin when in #Iceland and have regrets. It was slimy and seemed raw, almost like a jamón. An unexpected texture. Worse? I’d enjoyed seeing them nesting the day before at Dyrhólaey beach. #travchat A2

Underestimate freelancers at your own peril. Originally, ‘freelance’ referred to a medieval mercenary who would fight for whichever nation or person paid them the most. Those tax forms must’ve been nuts to fill out.

I am so in love with this adorable promotion from Zillow and Icelandic Provisions - even put an "offer" on a "house" elfrealtor.com

A5: I've always wanted to take an (in-person) class at King Arthur Baking School in Vermont. It might make a nice leaf-peeping road trip combo! Tried this year, but they were all full months in advance. #travchat (photo credit: King Arthur) Vermont Tourism

Soaring above me in Jutland, Denmark this a.m. Cornell's Merlin Bird ID ID'd as red kite, but would be fun to know for sure if anyone can tell from these wing patterns? Just a phone photo, womp-womp.
